This post originally was a request for help to find clips, and now I’ve turned it into a “Best” list sharing the ones readers have recommended.

Last week, readers were very responsive to my request for help in finding TV and movie scenes that demonstrated metacognition, and you can see them all at The Best Movie/TV Scenes Demonstrating Metacognition – Help Me Find More.

Here’s one that sort of relates to a growth mindset, but is more just inspirational:

Jen Marten suggests this from Meet The Robinsons:

I’d follow up that last video with this one:

Paul Sinnett says, “I like this one as it shows that you don’t always realize how much you have learned. I worry about using Star Wars because The Force is repeatedly described as something you are born with, not something you learn. It comes from a very fixed mindset perspective:
